Any time a team can unify over something, it's a positive. Especially something that is affecting them, and young men of all colors. As long as they keep unsaid organization out of it, I'm happy and enthusiastic about the start of the season. If they mention them, I'm out as a fan. 

Understandable. Maybe Grandpa Sails and others can take some lead on this he seems to be mature now and community minded. It doesn't take an organization it takes the community. The Team is their community right now make that right but stay focused on their Team goal.

Thank you. It's tough because everybody has different experiences and these conversations naturally deal with generalizations. I've lost friends due to taking similar stances. It sucks because I'm not

Exactly. Everything I've seen from them has been about coming together. Nothing divisive

The NBA is walking out on games due to black people being killed by the police. Despite there being many white and other races of victims, apparently their only problem is that the victims are black, not that people are being killed by police. 

I'm going to assume our team cares about the latter, since our messaging is centered around unity and injustice in general. That is something I can stand behind. I hope our team gets full recognition for doing things the right way.

Unarmed black people are killed at 3 times the rate that police kill other people. Let's get that unarmed black people rate down to other people. Then maybe we can address the cops killing unarmed people in general.  Or maybe the policies that should be enacted help all unarmed people killed by police. 

Maybe accountability in the department will make it so that an off-duty deputy sherif acting as security in last years NBA Finals won't lie about his interaction with the Toronto Raptors President of Basketball Operations, and be so brazen about it that he sued the man for assault.

There are behavioral reasons why blacks are more likely to be shot by police. There are tons of these out there. White people are more likely to commit suicide. This is also related to behavior. But in both situations, it is beyond pointless to make it a race issue. Feel free to mention disproportionalities, but these issues go beyond race. We should never make it the focal point

Very well spoken and thought provoking, tough subject to have an open discussion but thanks for sacking up and giving it a shot.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
